Twice
You wake up in a dark room, with a throbbing headache. The world is still spinning from... whatever just happened.

Come to think of it, you're not entirely sure what happened. You were going about your business, got hit by something, and then everything just... slowly faded away from you. The next thing you knew, you were awake here.

A screen turns on near the ceiling, and illuminates the room, revealing a few other confused figures as well as the bleak, green walls. A woman, rather sharply dressed, appears on the screen.

"Good evening. You may refer to me as 'Miss Janet'. You are here because we believe, despite your apparent flaws, that you can serve a new purpose under our guidance."

A light turns on over you, revealing a large metal door, and the other figures around you.

"You will be given 5 minutes to introduce yourself to one another, at which point, you will enter that room to grab your supplies. From there, your mission will be explained. Best of luck to all of you, and this is Miss Janet, signing off."

Rules
In this RP, you will sign up as a character who has died in another RP. This character must:
- be totally dead, with zero chance of revival, or from an RP which is completely dead
- be a character you signed up as, or an NPC who is in an RP you GMed
- not be from an RP where godmodding/Mary Sues/etc. are encouraged
- not be a character who was killed or was created specifically for this RP

Non-humans are allowed. Anything extremely large, small, powerful, etc. will be rejected, however. Should you have a power which is not overpowered, but needs to be controlled, your character will be restrained.

If your character was reused, and is now alive in another RP, you may use them as long as they are from the RP they died in.

Standard rules apply - respect the guidelines, no godmodding, etc. Your character should react as if they have just been pulled from their RP upon arriving, so don't make any drastic personality changes just as you start playing.

Gameplay
This RP will use a GM and a d20. Your rolls will be modified by things such as your current state (i.e, injured).

Rolls will be done for actions such as battling, searching, leaping, etc. If your action will be guaranteed to succeed or fail, or is extremely trivial (speaking to another player or walking), it won't use a roll.

Weapon of Choice: Claws, maybe fire magic (moves). Can't fly.

As the light shines on the five, some clattering can be heard behind the metal door. The screen remains off, probably for introductions to be given between the group.

A calm stillness sits in the air as the clattering fades, and the five are all alone together.

Vhalkir stands, pulling up the the cowl on his cloak to protect his skull from the accursed radiance. He examines the room. Resurrected again. But this time, his lord is nowhere to be seen. Who, then, cleansed his bones of the mortal's touch?

He takes stock of those in the room with him. Some sort of two-legged dragonling, two mortals, and-

Her.

Eyes blazing, Vhalkir extends a hand to collapse the roof above Alice.

Fares woke up with him hearing the crunch... He thought at first it was some sort of afterlife... "Lydia? Is there you? Curse that Talessa who tried to save Wednesday, they can burn to death, those stupid Luxray and Eevee." But he then saw something wrong... Wait, the room! Why there's a glass thing there? He thought, still pretty mad. Then it dawned on him... A skeleton, a ball with sword and two women. Also, the skeleton's eyes were unnatural... in fact, everything was for him.

The question is - was he abducted, saved, teleported or whatever?

He then saw the roof going to collapse at top of Alice... Eh, not worth the fire... He pretty much was surprised... he was the ONLY one who was any sort of creature there. That ball or skeleton which seems like a human's one when they rot away didn't count for him enough to be creatures. Yet still, after he noticed he's somewhat not alone, decided finally to speak up normally, not by curses. "Urk, where in the world am I at all?"

(P.S. Does every other man just hear growls and hisses? Or do Fares get his talk translated?)

Vhalkir extends his hand, but to his surprise, nothing happens. The screen turns on, and Miss Janet appears on it once again.

"I see you've already found the restraints. You know, I wasn't in favor of having them." Miss Janet says, with a grimace on her face. "But clearly, they're necessary to keep you from killing one another right off the bat."

She then turns, and picks up a large tablet, with everyone's names on it. "This panel controls your collars. I can give you back your powers, but I'm only going to do that if you're good. Abuse your power, and, well..." She clicks Vhalkir's name, slides a switch, and the screen turns red. "Let's just say these buttons are a little less friendly."

She turns the tablet off, and sets it down to the side. "Now," she says, turning so she faces the entire group. "Can we all get along? Or will I have to use the red buttons?"

Alice stares at Vhalkir. He seems familiar som- oh right. He had been one of the skeletons in a dungeon. Alice stares at his blazing blue eyes that put apologising right off the cards. Still, it's worth a shot, right?

Alice closer to Vhalkir. Not in arms reach or even jump reach, but close enough that he would know who she was talking to. "Uh, sorry about the death."

Faressain

"Err... excuse me, but... Who are you at all!? You all seem weird to me. Care to explain?" Fares goes closer to others.
